Good info. My cornea specialist recommended I take 2000 mg fish oil per day and I have for years. Wonder if flaxseed is better…?

I don’t find drops very helpful, though I do use ointment at night. I’ve switched from Systane to Genteal.

My opthalmogist recommended muro 128 for me. They are expensive so I ordered the generic this time. I hope they work.

Fish oil will contain more DHA and EPA omega 3's, which are probably in shortest supply in your diet. I prefer to get mine from an algae source to avoid ocean contaminants. I do know that when I took more of the DHA and EPA that my skin bruised much more easily, so I cut down to just 715 mg. of it, along with 1000 of flaxseed. Here is a good article about the differences in the omega 3's: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/17290-omega-3-fatty-acids .
Thanks for the info on the ointment.
